Military service played a pivotal role in launching Heilman'sdistinguished career in higher education administration, according toa press release about his book. The "poignant" memoir is divided into four sections that detail keyperiods in Heilman's life. The first, "Formation," begins with hisbirth in Smithfield, Ky., in 1926. His childhood, a lot of which wasspent in LaGrange, Ky., provided him with a solid foundation uponwhich he built his life - a life that he thought would always be livedon the family dairy farm. As the years of war accelerated, thoseassumptions would change. The portion of the book, titled "Transformations," discusses Heilman'sservice in the Marine Corps in combat in Okinawa and in post-warJapan. His memories, set in the historical context of letters he wroteto his mother, provide the story of not only how Heilman wastransformed into a man with limitless possibilities, but also thestory of how a great generation, now dwindling in numbers, was changedforever through combat and service. Heilman progressed through obtaining his doctorate, raising a familyof six and embarking on an impressive career in higher education andthese years are highlighted in "Reclamation." The final section of thebook is an insightful look at the crucial role played by highereducation leaders as told through the eyes of a man whose career inacademia is well-marked with achievement. With more than 50 years in higher education, Heilman has served as thepresident of a college and a major university and currently is auniversity chancellor. The book, "An Interruption that Lasted a Lifetime: My First EightyYears," reveals an "engaging story of one man's extraordinary lifepath, as well as the story of a generation who bravely sufferedthrough a worldwide conflict and emerged to build the America oftoday," the release says.
